New Survey Data Reveals the Risks Financial Institutions Aren't Ready For
This whitepaper breaks down findings from Cloud Security Alliance's 2026 survey of cloud and AI adoption in financial services, covering:
- How fast agentic AI has moved into production, including autonomy levels being granted to AI agents today and what's expected for consumer-facing transactions
- Why 41% of respondents have either confirmed or are unsure about AI-related security incidents, and what that visibility gap means for future risks
- What the real driver behind cloud and AI risks is and how to address it
- Where third-party risks, misconfigurations, and non-human identities remain unresolved cloud security gaps
- Where security teams are investing next and the budget and expertise gaps slowing them down
